Abstract excerpt
Progression of cells into S phase is controlled by the retinoblastoma protein (pRB) and relies on the functional inactivation of this tumour suppressor in late G1 via protein phosphorylation. We provide evidence here that, besides controlling entry of cells into S phase, pRB can operate to inhibi...
